itself or with less-sweet desserts.

The enormous tides
of the Bay of Fundy are truly one of the world's great natural wonders.
One hundred billion
tonnes of water flows into and out of the Bay on an average tide, twice
a day, creating rip-currents, seething up-wellings, swirling whirlpools
and a tidal range reaching 16m (53 ft) at the head of the Bay. The
volume of water receding & flowing is estimated to be 2000 times greater
than the daily discharge of the Gulf of St. Lawrence (Thurston, 1994).
The immense energy of the tides powers a highly productive, rich and
diverse natural ecosystem, in turn shaping the environment, the economy
and the culture of the Fundy region.

About 2800
years before present (B.P.), several hundred years after the
Maritime Archaic Indians had abandoned the area, the Groswater
Paleoeskimos arrived at Port au Choix. These people originating
from the Arctic may have moved south to Newfoundland during a
period of climatic cooling. Coming from the Arctic, the Groswater Paleoeskimos may have been culturally better adapted
and had better technology to exploit the marine resources during
a period of a colder climate.
